I just had a speech that I thought was quite adequate. Although I could not help but notice how most was just glancing at there computers or phones. The most disrespectful thing you could do to the speaker. At one point I felt to just stop and wait for them to lookup.
And that's not all of it either. Half of the students were not prepared, some talked way to fast and others just had too long or too short speeches. I swear that one student got blue after forgetting to breath.
I'm still amazed on how many people don't know how to do a basic speech, sure nerves get you but still, you would think at this age people would know how to do it properly.
Am I too uninteresting or is it just people don't care and worry too much about their own speeches. Mind you, not all speeches are bad, some are brilliant when everyone is concentrated and interested. And that does feel good.
What's your experiences on speeches and observations?
